Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Simonds Sanctuary in Brisbane- Moved in, Pics!! 156Jun 27, 2015 8:00 am TenaciousB Ru after your post I quickly asked for my kitchen spec to be changed to make it wider like the Plantation one. I'm not sure if they're able to do it and what's the cost involved but I feel it's a necessary upgrade. I prob will only get the quote back next week will keep u posted. I told them honestly that I prefer Plantation kitchen but I love Simonds layout. They've changed my layout slightly then the pic I posted before. It is looking better now. I don't have to go through the powder room to get to the laundry but my hubby has to forego of his workshop and cloak/mud area. Oh ok. I think thats a wiser decision. You would want your Kitchen to look best so do your best now. Thats good you got an entry straight. Re: Simonds Sanctuary in Brisbane- Moved in, Pics!! 157Jun 27, 2015 4:55 pm Hi Tenacious, Wow! Wow! Wow! We don't have this design in Melbourne, what a beautiful design and layout. Properly one of the best simonds layout I have seen especially that spiral stairs. RU and Harmelb are absolute right in all their advice and suggestion talking from experience with simonds . My advice is please please do not rush and make sure you make all the changes and you are happy before you sign the contract if you have not already. For my advice on the kitchen layout I would have prefer swapping the position of the theatre room with the kitchen meaning the kitchen with the pantry goes to the left of the house and the theatre room to the right and the dinning also comes to the right aswel so making the living area to look a little bit bigger as it will just be ur dining table on that side. The suggestion of removing the sink on the benchtop I think is very good as I did with mine too. Also RU is absolutely correct don't ever think things are standard with simonds it is an upgrade trust me. Best of luck as we follow your build. Re: Simonds Sanctuary in Brisbane- Moved in, Pics!! 158Jun 28, 2015 1:51 am Just checked out the QLD site. Wow, that Villa Toscana is a beautiful looking home. Are you thinking of the same façade TenaciousB? Re: Simonds Sanctuary in Brisbane- Moved in, Pics!! 159Jun 28, 2015 7:06 am Hi dran15, thanks for the input, I think it's a great idea to make the living area feels bigger by combining with dining. I might have to 'settle' with the current layout first as I'm keen to get a final quote then we can switch around the room config. TomCat I posted the same pic in your thread . I'm actually thinking of getting the Carringdale facade. I didn't think of this facade to be honest cause it wasn't available as an option you can choose. I think they just do it for the display. But another great idea, maybe I can ask about this facade. That's why I was asking TK15 where they're building cause if we build in the same location it'll be funny, not that it matters.
